Taking The Long View: A Panasonic LX2 / LX3 / GF1 Portfolio

In June 2007 I began using a Panasonic Lumix LX2 (and in mid 2008 an LX3) digital camera. Without going into a sales pitch (which I would be happy to do at a moment's notice), let me just say that these cameras fit my hand - and my eye - like they were made for them. I love the 16:9 - almost panoramic - aspect ratio.

In the summer of 2011, I added a GF1, a little bigger, but still a nice fit in my hand and to my eye. When it comes to these cameras, my wife says I'm like a kid with a new bike. This informal portfolio, is a measure of my satisfaction with these Panasonic cameras; I hope you enjoy it.

Alas, this little gallery is now essentially an archive, as in March 2012 I switched to a Fujifilm X10, and have been a dyed-in-the-wool Fuji photographer ever since.

Feel free to express your thoughts about this gallery; let me know those photographs you particularly like as well as those you think don't work by using the "Add Comments" button below.

To answer those who have inquired about my output with these cameras, I post-process in Photoshop CS6 on a 27" iMac, and size all files to be printed (larger than 11x14) to the exact size and resolution using BlowUp, from Alien Skin Software; it is similar to Genuine Fractals, but in my view much superior. Using this method I have made splendid, extremely sharp enlargements up to 17x22 inches from my LX2, LX3, and GF1, as well as various Nikon DSLRs (and of course, my Fuji cameras) for a variety of corporate, institutional, and private collections.
